Ever want to change the color of something in a photograph? This is a Photoshop project that I did some time ago during a plane ride. Changing the color required 4 steps in 3 different layers in Photoshop.

Cut out the flower from the background and put it in a second layer.

Make the first layer black and white.

Cut out the center of the flower from second layer, put that in the third layer. Keep that as yellow.

Go back to the second layer, play with the hue bar in Image > Saturation.
